The film, which revolves around a Punjabi married couple trying to have a baby, is being helmed by debutant Raj Mehta. He has previously assisted Dharma Productions’ protégé Shashank Khaitan on films like Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) and Dhadak (2018).

While Diljit and Kiara have teamed up for the first time, Kareena and Akshay are coming together after a long gap of 10 years, having been last seen in Sabbir Khan’s Kambakkht Ishq in 2009.
